“My lab, Jake, is a frequent day care client at my vet but hasn't stayed / boarded outside our home in a few years. He was understandably nervous for the first couple of days but Julie and her pack welcomed him with open arms. By the time I came to get him, he was sleeping in bed with them and roaming the yard like he owned it! I was thankful we had done a meet and greet prior to the DogVacay - Jake immediately recognized Julie and was I had a comfort level about how he would interact with her pack.”
“Joan was great and so thoughtful. Kept me updated with pics, and it was so nice to know my pup was well cared for. Highly recommend and will be rebooking. Thanks Joan!”

“Jessica was phenomenal! She watched our 2 dogs over our wedding weekend. We wanted one of them to join us for a bit and she was so helpful, even came and picked her up. She sent lots of photos and updates. We had a meet and greet on her yard so our dogs could meet hers. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Margaret was beyond sweet and accommodating, she took excellent care of my senior pup and gave her plenty of attention, care, and exceptional feedback. We’re new to the area and will only book with her, she's earned a trusted client. Highly recommend Margaret for any pet sitting needs!”

About: I love dogs and animals - they really are the best! I have owned three for many years, raising two from being puppies, and addressing challenging behavior with an older doggo, in addition to fostering multiple rescue dogs. I recently moved to WI, and my pets stayed home with my partner for now, and miss my furry companions and want to provide love and care for yours while I’m here! I am happy to work with you on what’s best, whether that is house sitting, boarding, or simply letting your animals out on walks or to go potty. Let’s chat! I currently work from home and have a remote job, so can provide your dog with any needs or attention that makes sense based on their schedule. I have some in-person meetings that occur throughout the week, and am generally around on the weekends regularly. If planning on boarding or daycare, my apartment is very dog-friendly, with many residents having pets and there are plenty of amenities available, whether walking around the neighborhood on leash or playing in the apartment’s fenced in dog run, that will give your pet what it needs. I can easily crate, take out for potty breaks, etc. I am also mindful of dog reactivity regardless of my own or neighbor’s dogs.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. My family growing up never had less than 3 pets at a time so I've grown up loving and rescuing animals including taking care of outdoor feral cats,stray dogs, etc. I currently have two cats of my own and hope to have more in the future at the very least by fostering :) Besides when working my 9/5 or rover I spend most of my free time with my cats. I also keep a cat crate and food in my car in case I ever see any stray cats and I have a humane trap at home. I have raised puppies and kittens from 2 months old and have had elderly pets that have lived to be 19 years old so I have experience with lots of pets of different ages, breeds, and personality types. I've taken care of upwards of 7 cats all in the same household so I am also experienced with caring for multiple pets including households with multiple cats and also dogs. I also have experience to varying degrees with deer, rabbits, horses, chickens, quail, and fish. I think pets are family and best friends and I am excited to meet yours and give them lots of love and attention I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick For daycare or boarding for dogs I would prefer they are cat friendly but accommodations can be made for sure! Currently my mon-Fri dog daycare and sitting slots are full. I am occasionally free on weekends or have last minute cancelations and still have some evening avilability so please feel free to still message to ask :) I’m happy to watch multi pet house holds and do daycare for multiple dogs if you have more than one! During meet ups I may be wearing a mask - don’t worry I’m not sick I am very immunocompromised so I mask around strangers just as an extra precaution so I don’t get sick I have availability in the evenings and Friday-Sundays all day I can absolutely do drop ins and walks! Feel free to ask me about dates even if it says busy because I usually still can do drop ins and walks especially in the evenings or I might have last minute cancels :) I am more than happy to board or babysit more than 1 dog from the same household/family :) In my own household I would provide them with their own toys, food and water bowls, and take them for lots of walks if applicable. My pets and any animals here are allowed to be on the furniture like the couches and bed but I usually put a blanket and a small bed on the ground in case some babies feel more comfy with that. I am more than happy to also crate them!
“Rebekah and Alex were great to correspond with. Super flexible and accommodating regarding meet and greet, drop off and pick up times. Our dog had such a fun weekend at their house. We were provided pictures throughout the weekend and were ensured he was at the right place! Would definitely recommend and board with again!!”
“Suellen was available for last minute sitting for our dog. She is extremely caring and attentive. She did a wonderful job keeping him occupied and provided us with lots of updates throughout the weekend. We could tell he really enjoyed his time with her.”
“Katherine was fantastic!! Drop off was super quick and easy, and I got a bunch of great pictures throughout the day of my kitty enjoying her stay. I’d recommend to anyone who’s in need of boarding!”
“Maddie was great! She is friendly, responsive, and professional. First time we boarded our pup, and it couldn't have gone better. Ivan got walks and cuddles and we got frequent updates. Would definitely book with Maddie again.”
“I felt spoiled being able to use Gilian while I was out of town. She took great care of the dog and sent great updates throughout. I would use again in a heartbeat”

Cynthia always does a wonderful job with our Dog August! August can be a handful and loves to take lots of walks, which Cynthia is more than happy to do. I never have to worry about how she is going to be cared for and that’s the best part. I can go on my vacations with the peace of mind that Cynthia will do an excellent job.
Julie was able to accommodate a very early drop off for my flight and did a wonderful job of keeping my girl happy and safe so I could enjoy my visit with family. My dog seemed very happy and well cared for when I picked her up and Julie was very easy to work with.
Alicia is such a wonderful fit for our dog, Modi, who loves staying with her when we are out of town! Alicia is so consistent & very reliable!! We highly recommend her services on Rover, as she provides a loving, nurturing home for our senior dog when we are away! 5+ stars 🌟
Arabella stayed with Jennifer for 10 days. She was delightful. We received daily photos of Arabella and she managed to take her for walks, do zoomies with her, with her in the garden brush her teeth brush her hair give her daily belly rubs and make her feel loved. We never doubted for a minute that Jennifer truly cared for our dog. We will definitely use Jennifer again.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Laura! We had a last minute care cancellation and needed a sitter for our 4 month old puppy. Not only did she take him in as one of her own, she helped safely build his confidence and helped him socialize with her gentle and well mannered dogs and cat of her own. I got multiple updates throughout the weekend, lots of pictures and best part is we were able to enjoy our best friend’s wedding because our worries were truly at ease knowing he was being taken care of by Laura. Will absolutely be looking to Laura first for any puppy care needs moving forward and I HIGHLY recommend having your fur baby stay with her ❤️
Mikaela was so great and super flexible! Estrella was prescribed medications right before her stay and Mikaela handled it like a pro! She also sent updates and photos which was much appreciated. We truly felt like we could trust her and Theo to give Estrella the best care while on vacation, which was a huge relief. We are looking forward to have Estrella stay with them again!
Zeppelin and his owners are beyond elated to have found Hannah and her doggies for boarding! From the meet and greet to pickup, we could not have asked for anything better. Hannah is intuitive, patient, kind, and has well trained doggies! She made sure to double check any special needs or requests and was very communicative during Zeppelin's stay. The pictures shared and behavior of our dog during drop off and pickup let us know he felt right at home. Hannah will be top of our list when looking for future care!
